Gwangju Biennale to select artistic director through open call for first time

The Gwangju Biennale Foundation will select the artistic director of the 17th Gwangju Biennale through an open international call, replacing its longstanding recommendation-based appointment system. Under the previous system, artistic directors were selected from a pool of candidates recommended by a small committee. The foundation said the new approach is intended to create a "more open selection process," while placing greater emphasis on curatorial vision, exhibition content and planning capa

[Wang Son-taek] A hope for a Hormuz coalition

Nearly two months have passed since the April 7 ceasefire in the Iran war. Yet negotiations aimed at turning that pause into a durable settlement remain stalled. The fighting may have slowed, but a viable political endgame remains elusive. That reality deserves not only frustration but sober recognition. Why has diplomacy become trapped? One clear reason appears to be the negotiating style of US President Donald Trump. His approach toward Iran has relied on a familiar formula: maximalist demands

Korea's milk dilemma: Less demand, more imports

Korea's dairy industry is approaching a pivotal moment as domestic milk consumption falls and more tariff-free milk imports are set to enter the country. According to the Korea Dairy Committee, the country’s yearly milk consumption per person decreased to 22.9 kilograms last year, down 9.5 percent from 2024 and the lowest in about four decades. Despite weakening consumption, Korea’s milk prices are among the highest in the world. According to Global Product Prices a liter of reduced-fat milk ret

[Kim Seong-kon]What are we actually voting for?

In a democracy, people vote to make a difference. Indeed, voters can decide whether their government deserves to be reelected or replaced. Without an electoral system, incompetent or even tyrannical leaders could remain in power indefinitely. Therefore, voting is a prerequisite for any democratic country. Naturally, politicians are uneasy about elections. As election day approaches, many politicians become anxious and restless because they may either be reelected or voted out of office, dependin

Yes to grasshoppers, no to ants: How does Korea decide which bugs can be grub?

Grasshoppers have made it onto South Korea’s dinner tables, at least legally. Ants and cockroaches, however, remain off the menu. On Tuesday, South Korea approved Parapodisma mikado, a species of grasshopper, as a food ingredient, expanding the country’s short list of edible insects. The decision has renewed attention on a question that may sound simple but is tightly regulated: Why are some insects approved as food while others are not? The answer lies in a regulatory system that requires years

Seoul, Washington defense chiefs strike different notes on OPCON transfer at Shangri-La

Seoul and Washington appear to be moving with different priorities in their approach to the transfer of wartime operational control in South Korea.

[Anne O. Krueger] Gangster logic of Trump's tariff wars

In his second term, President Donald Trump has turned extortion and coercion into central features of American statecraft, deploying tariffs, sanctions and other forms of economic pressure against adversaries and allies alike. With each passing day, the damage caused by this gangster-like approach — for both the US and global economies — becomes increasingly evident. Shortly after returning to the White House, Trump made clear that he viewed tariffs as weapons rather than instruments of trade po

[Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg] US, China must learn to coexist

The recent summit between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing produced no major breakthroughs on tariffs, Taiwan, or ongoing geopolitical conflicts like the Iran war, prompting many observers to dismiss it as inconsequential. Yet its restrained and cordial tone suggested a new, more pragmatic approach that implicitly acknowledges the two countries’ deep economic interdependence. The American and Chinese presidents were not viewing the bilateral relationship solely through the lens of geopolit

Derrick Milano approached BTS as 'a student' — and ended up shaping 'Arirang'

When Derrick Milano first walked into a Los Angeles studio to work with BTS, he did not even know which songs he would be touching. He only knew one thing: He did not want to arrive with the attitude of a hitmaker who already knew everything. Instead, the Grammy-winning songwriter behind tracks for Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion approached the sessions as "a student." That mindset eventually led Milano to become one of the most heavily involved contributors on BTS' latest studio al
